Abstract
Abstract Patients sustaining pelvic fractures following trauma are known to be at risk for an associated bladder and/or urethral injury. In an attempt to overcome the morbidity of extensile surgical approaches, percutaneous fixation of the pelvis has been receiving increasing attention. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who presented to a tertiary care trauma center for fractured bilateral acetabulum with bilateral fracture superior and inferior pubic rami with bladder injury. In pelvic trauma patients, percutaneous techniques have been specially recommended in patients with polytrauma, severe open injuries, extensive closed degloving injuries, and in elderly with medical comorbid conditions. Percutaneous screw fixation of acetabulum fractures is a relatively new procedure, and the indication for its use is not fully defined and needs to be explored.
